It’s Funny How People Think Seattle Seahawks Will Fail Next Season? So many people think they will be a bad failure team because of free agency. What did they loose? Only one key player golden Tate. That’s it!! No more key starters? Everyone els is good and growing! I think they will be even a better scarier team next season! If harvin will be healthy the whole season his a game changer in our offense! If they get jared Allen his gonna be a big +! Pete will get new players drafted and train them and be good if not better than the old once. Russell Wilson is growing and only getting better, same as Sherman and earl thomas! Young team! Smart coach!

Why Isn’t Jared Allen Getting More Flack For His Actions This Off-season? Jared Allen has been saying that if he doesn’t get as much money as he wants he’ll retire. Let me just start out by saying, that this is probably just a negotiating tactic for him to gain more money and if that’s the case, I don’t have a problem with it, because ‘hey do what you gotta do’, but if he’s serious I think he deserves a lot of flack for this statement.

I mean here’s a guy openly saying basically, that he’s not playing for the love of the game, for a chance to win, for loyalty, for any of those reasons, but playing purely for financial gain. It doesn’t sound very passionate, which is strange, because on the field Jared Allen plays with a higher motor and more heart, than just about anyone. So what are your thoughts on this?
@ndmagicman He may not be as good as he once was, but he still recorded 11.5 sacks, marking the 7th straight year he’s had double digit sacks. I mean say what you want about the man, but there’s no question he can still be effective on a football field. He’s worth more than 1 million a year.

He’s 31 which in itself isn’t bad but I’m wondering why people think he’s the second coming of Jesus when his production is only good not great as some think.

Understand that even though he had 22 sacks in 2011 which for him was his highest he also has declined in number of sacks/tackles and has done so on a consistent basis so does Seattle/Anyone else want to throw a boatload of money for a player who is gradually declining in ability???

Yes he can still play but you know you’re gonna have to pay him so will it be worth it?

The last two years his sacks have gone down tremendously from 22 in 2011 to 12/11.5 in 2012/2013 and so has his tackles from 46 in 2011 to 36/33 in 2012/2013.

You tell me 🙂

Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer … just give me time to get back and read the answers.
